The price of anarchy in an exponential multi-server
We consider a single multi-server memoryless service station. Servers have heterogeneous service rates. Arrivals are routed to one of the servers, and the routing decisions are not based on the queue lengths. We consider two criteria for routing selection: the (Nash) equilibrium, under which each customer minimizes his own mean waiting time, given the behavior of the others; and social optimiza...
متن کاملThe Price of Anarchy
Interstate 5 stretches through California’s San Joaquin valley, straight and flat as far as the eye can see, giving drivers a unique opportunity to observe game theory in action. With only two lanes in each direction, most cars stay in the left lane, zipping past the slow moving trucks, which keep to the right. Every so often, an impatient truck driver lumbers into the left lane, blockading the...
متن کاملPrice of Anarchy⋆
Internet users, auction bidders, and stock buyers are examples of agents who are selfishly trying to maximize their own benefit without necessarily caring the global objective of the underlying game such as the overall load on the network or the overall satisfaction of agents. How does these two points of view (agents vs. global) correlate? How much does the society suffer by the lack of coordi...
متن کاملLiquid Price of Anarchy
Incorporating budget constraints into the analysis of auctions has become increasingly important, as they model practical settings more accurately. The social welfare function, which is the standard measure of efficiency in auctions, is inadequate for settings with budgets, since there may be a large disconnect between the value a bidder derives from obtaining an item and what can be liquidated...
متن کاملThe Price of Stochastic Anarchy
We consider the solution concept of stochastic stability, and propose the price of stochastic anarchy as an alternative to the price of (Nash) anarchy for quantifying the cost of selfishness and lack of coordination in games. As a solution concept, the Nash equilibrium has disadvantages that the set of stochastically stable states of a game avoid: unlike Nash equilibria, stochastically stable s...
